Recipe Information

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk works best for creaminess)
2 oz cream cheese (softened) – gives the true cheesecake tang
1 tsp lemon juice (adjust to taste, gives that cheesecake zing)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, stevia, monk fruit, or allulose, depending on how sweet you want it)
Optional: pinch of salt to enhance the flavors

In a small bowl, add the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, lemon juice, vanilla, sweetener, and salt. Whisk until creamy and well combined.
Taste and adjust: more sweetener for a dessert-like dip, more lemon juice for tang.
Chill for 15–20 minutes (optional but helps flavors meld).

Personally I love this dip with fruit like strawberries, apples, and grapes. You can also crush graham crackers into the dip or eat the dip with graham crackers.

**These numbers will vary depending on the brands that you use. Here are the ones I personally use:

Yogurt: FAGE Lactose Free (I get lactose free out of necessity, there is nothing wrong with 2% or whole milk yogurt if you can have it)
Cream Cheese: Green Valley
Maple Syrup: I get pure maple syrup to reduce additives. Notice that using other sweeteners does decrease the carbohydrates.
